Wheelchair Quality That Stands Up to Real Life

Built Different Because You Live Different

At Disability Lab, we don't just make wheelchairs. We engineer freedom machines that keep up with your life—whether that's crushing it at the office, dominating on the court, or exploring places others said you couldn't go.

The Disability Lab Difference

  • All-Welded Construction - Not a bolt or screw to work loose when you're miles from home
  • Custom-Measured For Your Body - Because you deserve better than "close enough"
  • Insurance-Free Customization - Your chair, your choices, no paperwork battles

Customer-Driven Quality That Makes the Difference

We believe true reliability begins with truly understanding you. When we take the time to listen to your needs, challenges, and goals, we build chairs that become an extension of who you are—not just what you need.

  • Customers consistently tell us their chair doesn't just fit them—it feels like a natural extension of their body, designed with their unique needs in mind.
  • Custom measurement process captures more data points than industry standard
  • Lifestyle-focused consultations identify usage patterns other manufacturers miss
  • Post-delivery follow-ups ensure your chair performs exactly as expected in real life
  • Customer insights drive innovation - our all-welded design came directly from user feedback

Our reliability isn't just about materials and engineering—it's about understanding how you live, move, and navigate your world. By building relationships first, we create chairs that don't just work reliably—they work reliably for YOU.

From Materials to Manufacturing

We select aircraft-grade aluminum and titanium alloys that deliver the perfect balance of strength and weight. Our 5-step manufacturing process includes multiple quality checks before your chair ever leaves our Houston workshop.

The Technical Edge

  • Precision CNC machining for critical components
  • Every chair starts with a blank CAD file.
  • Proprietary bearing technology that rolls smoother, longer
  • High Quality Stainless Steel Fasteners

"We don't build chairs for the showroom floor. We build them for the life you actually live."

Reckless Difference

  • 1. Built by Users, For Users

    We're wheelchair users designing for wheelchair users – we get it because we live it. Every chair is crafted with real-world experience and insider knowledge of what actually matters on the court, track, or street. When pushers design for pushers, you get performance that insurance companies and big manufacturers just can't match.

  • 2. Ultra-Lightweight Rigid Performance

    Our all-welded rigid design means every push transfers maximum energy to forward motion instead of wasting it on flex and noise. Less maintenance, quieter rides, and effortless pushing that lets you focus on living your life instead of fighting your equipment. Built tough but weighs light – because your chair should work with you, not against you.

  • 3. Insurance-Free Customization

    Skip the paperwork, denials, and "standard options" – you're the boss here. We build exactly what YOU want, how YOU want it, without having to justify your choices to anyone else. True customization means getting the chair that fits your life, your sport, and your style perfectly.

What They Say

FAQ

1. Why don't you accept insurance?

We choose not to work with insurance so you can get exactly the wheelchair you need. Insurance companies restrict your choices to basic, pre-approved options that might not work for your body or lifestyle. By paying directly, you skip all those limitations and get complete control over every detail - from measurements to features to colors. You end up with a wheelchair that's actually built for YOU, not what some insurance policy says you can have.

2. What's the real difference between your wheelchairs and insurance wheelchairs?

Insurance wheelchairs might be "free," but they authorize the cheapest parts available. Between your co-pay and necessary upgrades to get decent components, you'll spend $2-3k anyway - and you'll still end up with a bolt-together maintenance problem that wastes your energy through loose connections and flex.

Our all-welded construction eliminates those weak points completely. Every push transfers directly into motion instead of being lost through wobbly joints. Plus, our ultra-lightweight design means you use less energy to get around.

Spend a little more and get a custom-made Reckless chair that's built to maximize your energy and minimize maintenance time. When your wheelchair works efficiently and quietly, you spend your energy living your life instead of constantly fixing equipment.

3. How long does it take to make my new wheelchair?

Your custom wheelchair takes 10 weeks from contract to delivery. Here's the breakdown:

  • Week 1: Order parts & create your custom CAD design
  • Weeks 2-3: Manufacturing your frame
  • Weeks 4-5: Powder coating for durability
  • Weeks 6-7: Assembly and quality testing
  • Week 8-10: Final prep and shipping (1-2 days shipping time)

4. How can I do a fitting if I cannot come to your shop?

We offer remote fittings! We'll guide you through taking your own measurements with detailed instructions, or we can work with a local physical therapist We also provide video consultations to ensure everything is measured correctly. Many of our customers are located far from Houston, so we've perfected the remote fitting process to ensure your wheelchair fits perfectly.
